Actor Mouni Roy has been stranded in Abu Dhabi for two months, after a four-day work trip got extended because of the coronavirus pandemic. She has been staying with a childhood friend.
Mouni, who’d travelled to the UAE in March for a magazine shoot, told Mid-Day, “After the shoot, I decided to stay back in Abu Dhabi for two weeks, as my next project was scheduled to kick off only on April 15. I was possibly ignorant, but I didn’t imagine that the world will shut down. I have been stuck here with four days’ clothes.”
All domestic and international flights have been suspended because of the pandemic, leaving Mouni with no option but to remain in Abu Dhabi. She admitted that she is concerned about her family in Cooch Behar. “I have been checking on them every day,” she said. “I am relieved that my brother is by mom’s side at this time. My cousins also live close by, that’s an added advantage.”
